Depoe Bay tourist information
Your visit to the "WHALE WATCHING CAPITAL OF THE OREGON COAST" is sure to be a memorable one. We are fortunate to have a resident pod of grey whales which makes its home here 10 months out of the year. Visitors from everywhere come to whale watch either from many shore observation spots or to take one of our charters out for a closer look. There is nothing quite so spectacular as seeing whales in their natural habitat.
We have the smallest natural navigable harbor in the world consisting of six square acres. Because of our proximity to the ocean, fisherman or whale watchers can be from dockside to viewing or fishing in a matter of minutes.
A huge sea wall runs the length of the downtown area which enables our visitors to shop or dine always within view of the ocean. We have the distinction of being the only town on the entire coast with this amenity. Waves run beneath lava beds and build pressure to spout water as high as 60 feet into the air. These are known as "SPOUTING HORNS" and are visible during turbulent seas and stormy weather.
Shopping, dining, fishing, whale watching are favorite activities in Depoe Bay and we also offer special events at various times of the year including the "Class Wooden Boat Show and Crab Feed" in April, the "Fleet of Flowers" on Memorial Day, and an "Indian Style Salmon Bake" in September. We are surrounded by a number of scenic parks, award winning restaurants, top notch motels, ocean fresh seafood and outstanding scenery. Regardless of the season, you won't regret visiting Depoe Bay and the Oregon Coast. Our friendliness and quaintness make us one of the favorite destinations on the Coast.
